I Don't Speak German

It's been a while since we released a new episode and, for one reason and another, it's going to be a little while before we release another (though we still hope to make our monthly quota of two new public episodes and one new backer-only bonus) so, to tide you over, and make sure you don't forget about us, here's the first of our bonus episodes - on Peter Watkins' Punishment Park (1971) - originally released exclusively for our patrons back in January.  If you wish you'd been able to hear this six months ago, consider bunging us some cash.

And so, episode 88 is finally here.  And we found the best way to deal with it.  In this episode, we welcome back the brilliant Eiynah Mohammed-Smith - of the Polite Conversations podcast - to talk about the long shadow of New Atheism.  In the process we also talk about some of the crop of IDW-criticism proliferating these days, and our issues with it.  We also talk about other things.  Rude things.  *Jack blushes* Content Warnings.   Podcast Notes: Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to one full extra episode a month.

In this bumper edition, we begin a projected trilogy of episodes on James Lindsay, Twitter's favourite anti-Critical Race Theory obsessive and bullying prick.  This time, we track the earlier part of James' career as a professional reactionary, leading up to the embarassing 'Conceptual Penis hoax' of which James still seems inexplicably proud.  Daniel demonstrates (to a Jack still groggy from all the AstraZeneca nanobots coursing through his brain) that James was pretty much always the obnoxious douchebag he is now, but simply needed to learn through experience (of being called on his bullshit) how to successfully present his obnoxious douchebaggery as a profound quest to save Western civilisation from standpoint epistemology or something.

In this News Roundup episode, we take a look at the 'debate' between Professor Richard Wolff (public face of Marxism these days, sadly) and 'Destiny' (AKA Steven Bonnell II), a liberal YouTube livestreamer, and Bonnell's total lack of real and honest curiosity about socialism.  We then take a look at Nick Fuentes' extremely not mad reaction to YouTuber Thought Slime's video about him, and discover various things about Nick, including why he doesn't believe in dinosaurs.  Or, y'know, the Holocaust.  We also check in on Bret (Weinstein) and Heather (Heying) (of the Dark Horse podcast) to correct some of their pernicious bullshit and see what they think the cops should be allowed to do to protestors who are DESTROYING CIVILISATION.  Daniel draws the various threads together and, in a stunning third act twist, reveals what all these things have in common.
